The Endless System
Ch 9 — The Appearance of the Spirit of Fire

Tohrei and Ikumi ate the food he served himself. Ikumi praised the delicacy of the food he made, Tohrei was happy to hear that. While eating, Tohrei asked the system something.

‘System, can you explain more details about Ikumi's evolution? He suddenly evolved there must be a reason.’ Tohrei asked the system through his mind.

[Ikumi evolved because she consumed your blood. Your blood can trigger the evolution of certain creatures, a single drop has a very powerful effect. ]

‘My blood? But when did Ikumi consume my blood?’

‘Ah..., I remember..., must have been the time of the incident.’ Tohrei recalled the incident that happened yesterday.

Yesterday Tohrei accidentally injured his own finger with his fingernails so that it bled out. The reason it happened was quite ridiculous, that was because Tohrei used his strength stat excessively on that part of his nails. Tohrei was still unfamiliar with his current stat.

And when her finger was injured, Ikumi licked the wound hoping it was covered. As a result, Ikumi accidentally drinks Tohrei's blood. Actually it does not need to be done because Tohrei's high vitality stat makes the regeneration fast.

Tohrei did not expect that such a small thing could make Ikumi evolve. That way Tohrei realized that his blood was special. He thought about taking advantage of this.

After finishing breakfast, they went to the courtyard because Ikumi asked for it. Ikumi invites Tohrei to play with her. Tohrei took it for granted, after playing for some time they also rested.

‘It looks like it's time to use the spirit summoning.’ skill Tohrei intended to try the skill.

‘System, show ability of this skill.’ Tohrei's orders to the system.

[ Skill: Spirit Summoning

Type: Active

Grade : C

Description :

A skill capable of summoning elemental spirits from the spirit world. The summoned spirit will obey the summoner's order calling out to him.

The duration of the spirit depends on the summoner. Spirits can be invoked permanently, but to do that there must be a master and subordinate contract between spirit and summoner.

To perform your contract must be recognized by the spirit, one way is to fight with that spirit. Spirit must acknowledge you are not under your command but by the will of the spirit itself.

The summoned spirit possessed a power that was random according to the summoner's luck. But the summoner can determine what spirit element he wants to summon.]

After reading the description of the skill, Tohrei thought about summoning the spirit permanently. For the experiment he would summon a fire spirit.

Tohrei asked the system about this skill.

‘System, can you increase the possibility of calling a strong spirit?’ Ask Tohrei.

[The system can increase that possibility to the strongest spirit. You need to use 100 exchange points to do that. But it will make you unable to use the spirit summoning skill for a while. ]

‘Well I guess that's okay, as long as the quality is good I have no problem not being able to use while the skill was.’

Tohrei stood up and walked to the field, he intended to use his skill.

“What's the master?” Ikumi wondered what made Tohrei stand on the field.

“I want to try one of my skills.” Tohrei said before pointing his hand forward, preparing to bring out his skill.

“Spirit Summoning!” Call Tohrei.

A magic circle was created in front of him. An unusually intense burst of flames shot out from that magic circle.

Ikumi who saw that felt amazed.

‘Successful!’ Tohrei made a happy smile.

[Due to the forced summoning of class S, the Spirit Summoning skill will be hit with a penalty of 1 year and 6 months so that it cannot be used until the specified time limit.]

‘What ... ?! you didn't say it was the system before!’

[I intentionally]

‘And you admit it?’ Tohrei was only able to sigh resignedly.

Tohrei refocused on spirit summoning.

The flames that came out from the magic circle slowly died down and revealed a summoned spirit. He was a humanoid with long red hair. She has a very pretty face with golden irises.

‘A woman?!’ Tohrei was surprised to see the spirit he had summoned.

Yes, the spirit is a woman.

The woman knelt before Tohrei with a sharp eye.

“Who is that red-haired brother Master?!” Ikumi approached Tohrei.

“It seems that he is the spirit I am calling, I am not exploiting this.”

“What is spirit, Master?”

“I myself do not know for sure it.”

“Have you called me?” Said the woman calmly.

Tohrei's shock momentarily stopped to answer the woman. “Yah I think so.” Tohrei said with a bit of uncertainty.

“So yes, so what task will you give sir?”

“Before that do you want to contract with me first?” Tohrei.

“Contract? Are you sure?” The woman slowly stood up from her kneeling position.

“Let me guess, are there any specific heavy conditions for doing this contract? If yes, tell me what the terms are.” Tohrei.

“Yes, there is a condition to contract with spirit, that is, you must defeat the spirit you want to contract.”

“That's all? Against you I thought it would be easy.” Tohrei created a sword with creation skill.

“Because I'm the one who called you.” Tohrei smiled and drew out his sword.

“Master is quite confident yes, then I will carry out whatever orders are given if mister wins.” From nothingness appeared a fire sword in the hand of the fire spirit woman.

“What Master will fight? Then Ikumi will join the fight Master!”

“No need Ikumi, better watch from behind, take a look at this power of your master!”

[Mission: S-level fire spirit recognition!

Defeat the fire spirit you are facing right now and gain recognition from that spirit.
